Did Lexus ever make all season mats for the 01-06 LS 430? I tried some aftermarket gray ones but they didn't hold up at all.

 

They did make an excellent set of Lexus OEM rubber mats for the LS430. When I bought my car the rubber mats were in the trunk. I actually use the rubber mats all year around. Way easier to keep clean and much better protection. I think Lexus quit making them around the time of the unintended acceleration news coverage about 4 years ago. I'd put a search alert (email notification) in ebay if I was looking for a set.

 

I talked to the dealer parts gal 6 mo's ago. As Jab alludes they are sweet, but Not Made. Weathertech are Not Made. Anyone have a set I could use em for my Wisco Winters, PM me. I have some gray OEMs carpet I will trade plus 50 bucks

 

Look for '3d mats'. I bought a set, made for ls430 (exact fit) fo about 100 bucks.
To get an idea, how it looks go to http://www.3dmats.com/.
I use them all year round and happy happy. My floor carpeting is never wet or dirty now.
OEM mat set is riding in the trunk (although in summer i do put OEM carpet mats back in for rear passengers, looks tidier).
These DO hold water/moisture in, as they do have plastic base.

 

Those look pretty nice. I might have to get a set for my LS.

 

Those do look nice. Is that the only place?

 

I've been looking at 3D mats for the LS430. I see references such as:

LEXUS SERIES
LEXUS JEEP 470
04 RX300/330/350
07 LEXUS LS430
06 LEXUS LS460
07 LEXUS IS300
07 LEXUS LS430
06 LEXUS LS460
07 LEXUS IS300

Really? Perhaps they're referring to a Japanese '07 LS430 with right hand drive, I don't know.
The web site http://www.3dmats.com/ has a PDF with makes, models and years but doesn't include the LS430. Has anyone here in the USA purchased a set and found them to fit?

 

Idk guys, i have no further advice here at the moment. These mats are really known here in russia, people loves them, and you can get a set at any big parts place. I guess they are from china or korea or taiwan.
One of the brands here is '3d sotra'.
I would offer to ship some, but considering the size of mats it will be super-expensive to do.

 

I thought I read somewhere that the LS460L mats would work

 

I've sent an email inquiry to a seller on AliExpress to clarify the fitment. I'll follow up if and when I receive a response. . .

 

Keep us updated. I'm desperate to find a set of all weather mats for my right hand drive lexus ls430. Ive only just managed to get a set of new oem carpet mats for rhd and I had to pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars for the privilege now I want to protect them from mud and rain when I can!

 

Chance of getting something like mats for RHD ls430 is close to ZERO.
Search for celsior mats.

 

I will follow this too as I am in the market.

 

I wanted the OEM mats, but it's probably a lost cause for our era LS. I think Lexus just pulled all of them over that ridiculous "unintended acceleration" lawyer boondoggle. I doubt they'll ever reintroduce them for our cars since it's such a small volume.

I have the Weathertech ones though, and I think they compare favorably to OEM. It's not the cheap, universal ones you get at places like PepBoys, they look and feel high quality. I would say it's about 90% of the quality of the heavy duty ones Lexus made.

This is one of the first things I do when I buy a car, I pull the carpeted floor mats and put all season mats in.

 

I gave up searching and made my own clear mats. See other thread.
